novelTest.extreme: A novel test of independence
In knnIndep: Independence tests and benchmarks

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples

This function implements a novel test of independence of bivariate data. It is based on the formula of the exact distribution of the ith nearest neighbour given the previous nearest neighbour (see Pc_givena).

1	novelTest.extreme(xdata, ydata, maxi = length(xdata) - 1)

`xdata`	first dimension of data
`ydata`	second dimension of data
`maxi`	up to which ith nearest neighbour to consider

This function returns the aggregated test statistic
